The invite probably comes with cross country skis and a couple poles… let them figure it out -

Not sure what you mean; there are more countries qualified for 2026 than at the same stage for 2022. -

Nothing too special, just many small things. There are so many restrictions on where you can and can't be, athletes needing to focus on the wrong stuff instead of simply their trainings and competitions, transport for athletes taking forever or not appearing at all (we brought the Argentinians to their hotel today, because they can't trust the buses, yesterday they arrived at the track at the earliest possible time...not even 30 minutes before their start). Even yesterday, competition day 1, things like the ticketing area where one can pick up FIS Family tickets wasn't open yet and nobody knew when it would (we've been pointed from the parking to the accreditation center and back a dozen times I think). And the parking...Jesus Christ on a stick. The main parking lot literally has place for maybe 40 cars, that's it. That's not even 1 per country, so most teams have their car or van jammed in between the wax cabins. Of course except for the big countries, like Finland and their double decker fold out truck or Austria and their two full sized shipping containers. Yesterday we ran after a volunteer to the medical center to find Bruna, about whom all we knew was "DNF" and "something with an ambulance and/or hospital". Fine. Then afterwards we wanted to go back to exactly where we came from (with our perfectly valid tickets), but we couldn't, because the 50 meter stretch of empty road was an accreditation zone. Luckily the nurse just appeared outside and helped us through. So many of these relatively small things that make the whole thing feel...messy. At the very least hold an event like this in an easy to reach place for everyone, like the Holmenkollen in Oslo.

Hope so. Like the early days of Women's Ski Jumping standards were very uneven for a while, but it's maturing now. -
Goerlich was injured, probably breaking something in his knees on landing. Outrageous that there is not even a stretcher; two coaches had to carry her.

I heard the commentator talk about the increased effort France is putting into the sport ready for 2030. Maybe a sign they will try and keep it in their games.
